RAM is really handy for picture and video editing, probably more than for games, so if you do enough, 4 GB is probably worth it, seeing as 2 could get to be a bit dodgy.

[quote] 4 GB DDR2 is a bit worthless Especially with DDR3 around the corner[/quote] DDR3 is a huge waste as of now, seeing as it costs more than 3 times as much for roughly equivalent performance. Once they come out with faster timings and cheaper sticks maybe, but till then, stick with DDR2. But yeah, for now 4 GB is a bit of an extravagance, and I only bought that much because I don't like closing windows and it was on a great sale. Still is, for that matter.

[quote]I was looking at the clock speed.

absolutely on the GT. Once you turn on the antialiasing or high resolution, the memory access becomes the limiting factor, not the gpu, so the GT's the better bet. Also, I just got 4 gigs of G.Skill ram, and it's an excellent product for less than a hundred bucks.

[quote] At this point I'm starting to think the memory is what is fried. This is so because the BIOS works but when it tries to go into windows I get a super special BSoD with lots of hex values on it. I cant even reinstall Windows it loads the files then the special screen comes as soon as the load process is done. Why they dont make stuff that can be OC 40%+ and last is beyond me. I think there is a conspiracy within the industry. <img id="ImageResize_Image_23" onload="Ima
